TheHon.WALTER Rothschild, M.P., F.Z.S,, exhibited amounted 

 specimen of a Gorilla, Gorilla gorilla diekli. 



Mr. Rothschild also described the Natal form of the Steinbuck 

 as being darker and more vinaceons rufous in colour, and the 

 North Rhodesian Reedbuck as having greyer body and less rufous 

 head and stouter horns than the typical forms ; a new Lechwe 

 allied to both Cobus lechwe and 0. smithemanni, but with black 

 patches only on the shoulders and black hairs scattered about 

 the neck ; and a new Sheep allied to Ovls stonei, but almost 

 entirely black. 



A communication from Miss Dorothea M. A. Bate contained 

 an account of the discovery, in cave-deposits in Crete, of remains 

 of Elephants, some of which were referred to a new species. 



Mr. Charles F. Rousselet read a report on the Polyzoa of the 

 Third Tanganyika Expedition. Five species were represented in 

 the collection, three of which were described as new. Of the 

 five species, three belonged to the Phylactoltemata and two to the 

 Gymnoleemata. Amongst the latter was Arachnoidia ray- 

 lankesteri Moore, which was found in some abundance on shells 

 dredged from deep water.
